This is my second rupture in 1 year. It will be a week tonight since it has happened again. I am on a 5 day course of antibiotics along with ear drops. I still am having a low temp and the ringing and popping and the crackling, the itching and the pressure is very annoying and painfull. But last night i got a headache that ended up going down my neck and behind my eyes. It was horrible, i tried the heating pad on my ear and head, and a wash cloth to try to find relief.. Which did work enough that i finally got some sleep. I dont know if this was a migraine or a problem related to the ear..But my ? is has anybody else experienced this? If so what did you do to help the problem? I do have a ENT that i see 2-3x's a year.. I am going to chiro this afternoon to see if he can give me some relief..Any suggestions??? :bouncing:
